PROVIDING TOP-TIER TALENT + EMPOWERING THEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Following his experience in Silicon Valley with Apple, Brian Carlin, the founder and CEO of Purple Jay, aspired to establish a company that offers exceptional information security personnel, IT engineers, and application developers to the Government. The primary objective was to assist in advancing their missions, streamlining workflows, and fortifying their systems.
OUR PURPOSE
We aim to guide your organization into the right balance of business productivity and implement security measures to maximize outcomes. We understand that effective cybersecurity solutions must go beyond simply protecting data and systems – they must align with your mission so that they will enable and empower your organization.
THE MISSION
We intend to provide cross-domain services with highly skilled and trained personnel supported by cross-matrix, agile teams and proprietary digital solutions with a track record of success. This positively charged approach will exceed clients minimum requirements, reduce client and organizational risk, and maximize the return on investment.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL MATTERS
PURPLE JAY EXPLAINED
WHY THE COLOR PURPLE?
The concept of "Purple" symbolizes the ongoing collaboration between the "Red" and "Blue" teams, representing offense and defense, respectively. This represents a noteworthy paradigm shift in modern information security programs, aiming to enhance effectiveness and cater to the constantly evolving requirements of clients, companies, and government agencies. Embracing the "Purple" mindset acknowledges the importance of simultaneously playing offense and defense to achieve excellence.
WHY A JAYBIRD?
Jaybirds possess traits of curiosity, assertiveness, and intellect. Additionally, they are recognized for raising the alarm when they sense potential dangers, prioritizing the safety of others. We firmly believe that achieving success entails cultivating inquisitive minds while prioritizing our clients' well-being. Our objective is to inquire, explore further, foster creativity, instill confidence, and exhibit assertiveness in order to effectively optimize business and safeguard our clients.
WHY THE HONEYCOMB?
The construction of a beehive thrives on teamwork, communication, and unwavering nurturing. It necessitates adaptation to a constantly changing environment through meticulous planning and timely anticipation, shielding the hive from surrounding threats and vulnerabilities. We recognize that these elements are vital for delivering cross-domain, cross-matrix services, and innovative solutions
